Modern Combat 4 by Gameloft Possibly Coming to OUYA!

[Saracen26]

Don't wanna bum you out, but I just saw this on twitter



What is this supposed to mean? I guess I'm kinda destroying the whole point if I'm saying I'd like to know if that's just teasing or not, but still...

Haha... I give Moonlight his due for trying there.

If I know OUYA. They will see Gameloft (and Madfinger as well) as being an essential partner in the future gaming library of the console. There's probably some money changing hands to make it worthwhile and as a means to "Kickstart" the continuing success of OUYA itself.

If I was a betting man. I would say that potentially, OUYA would be drumming for some kind of Future exclusive from either Madfinger or Gameloft. Negotiation would be a tough thing. But OUYA still need that all encompassing Exclusive Killer App and potentially a franchise which won't wander into the sunset after 6 months. Something that will change the fortunes, sell consoles and make it worthwhile. I feel one (or both) of these companies hold that key.

That's not really a bummer, just there being smart and not going to confirm, deny, or LEAK anything out at the moment, but you can guess by their previous statement that they are at least making an attempt to work with gameloft in bringing more games there community want.

What I actually want from them is to balance that Professional-Friendly attitude the right way so people won't have to pull out hairs every time they read another tweet.
I just hate this "TEE-HEE! ME NAUGHTY! SHHH!" attitude.
Sometimes they're getting it right, really, kudos for getting actually bettter, but sometimes....NGGGGHHH

At least to me, the tweets referenced don't really amount to much anything. They could just be indicating that they agree that working with Gameloft to bring MC4 to OUYA is a good idea. Nothing really to anything to get excited about yet. Now on the other hand, if it was Gameloft who had made the reply that would be something to take notice of.

They want the buzz (one way to do that is to give a slight hint about something and then keep quiet and let the speculations fire off) but they can't back anything up if things go sideways. I understand what they are doing but I don't care for it. I'm not as fed up with it as Murka seems to be - I'm just not biting. It would be great if it came to Ouya, absolutely, but I play the games that's out and will talk about Modern Combat 4 if/when it arrives.

Sorry @playouya...

I won the third installment in the series some time ago and I remember I liked the game (as I do with Call of Duty - it seems I'm the only one left who really likes CoD, Battlefield and all other AAA-shooters ) - but the controls were as expected beyond terrible. Okay for touch screen controls for the most part, so those who are down with that would certainly like Modern Combat's controls... But I really don't. So this would be very cool. Then I could buy it legit instead of sideloading it.

I started to like these kind of games when I gave them a chance recently. I still thing gaming is oversaturated with them, and probably wouldn't buy a PS4 or Xbox One based on the current generation having way too many first person shooters. But yeah, I don't think the OUYA having these kind of games will hurt anything.

This is just fantastic news, even though I haven't played the previous games in the series.

What concerns me most is whether or not they'll be able to make the controls work flawlessly. I guess I'll have to wait and see!

2.2 GB of total storage. Seems too big to bother unless wanting to app juggle. The game plays good on Tegra 3 though.
